Thanks to @fobraonain for playing Brian ‘Big Green Eyes’ on @RTERadio1 tonight. Taken from Brian album re issue Understood on @needlemythology www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

You are very welcome @clarewadd.bsky.social

The latest @needlemythology.bsky.social release. I love the love they show for their releases #music

Thank you to Tower Dublin.

Somehow, despite its legendary indiepop status, I've never heard a single note of this. Looking forward to putting that right. @needlemythology.bsky.social

In 1992 I was living in London, alone and very unhappy. Not sure how I missed this album about being alone in London and very unhappy but I did and now @needlemythology.bsky.social have re-released it and I know it’s my album of the year even though it’s more than 30 years old.

Thank you to Tower Dublin.

A very happy 21st birthday to the album ‘Everyone Is Here’ by the amazing Finn Brothers!! ❤️ We need a new Finn Brothers album I reckon! Favourite tracks?

For the duration of the Bank Holiday Weekend, I've reduced the price of every already released album on Needle Mythology by 20%.

Some treasure by @thelilactime.bsky.social arrived in the post today. It's such a wonderful record put together beautifully by @petepaphides.bsky.social and all at @needlemythology.bsky.social

30 heerlijke gitaarliedjes verzameld op Sensitive, An Indie Pop Anthology. Samengesteld door muziekjournalist @petepaphides.bsky.social en uitgebracht op @needlemythology.bsky.social . Met The Primitives, Wedding Present, Pastels, The Field Mice en meer. Mooie comp!

Finally listening to this brilliant compilation from @petepaphides.bsky.social / @needlemythology.bsky.social on this rainy Saturday. Really spectacular stuff, and absolutely engrossing liner notes.

Now playing: Various * "sensitive - an indie pop anthology". A very nice gift from @petepaphides.bsky.social - thank you. New release @ bandcamp, @monorailmusic.bsky.social - etc. needlemythology.bandcamp.com monorailmusic.com/product/sens... #vinyl #compilation #cd @needlemythology.bsky.social

Struggled to find much time for playing vinyl lately but this compilation on is superb. 80s Indiepop Scene revisited. Complete Treasure Trove Various Artists - Sensitive - An Indie Pop Anthology www.revivedvinylrecords.co.uk/pre-order-va...

Turns out Barnes & Noble had it. And some other stuff. 😊 Looking forward to listening…

Received my copy of this compilation released by @needlemythology.bsky.social. Worth it already for that elusive and rare April Showers track. Physical media is the closest thing when you’ve lived your entire life away from the music that means the most to you. 🖤

This had arrived whilst I was away on mog-sitting duties, so that's the rest of the day sorted. Well played, @petepaphides.bsky.social and the @needlemythology.bsky.social bredren.

Loving #sensitive from @needlemythology.bsky.social and @petepaphides.bsky.social A glorious return to my teenage years….

Fantastic new compilation from @needlemythology.bsky.social If anyone had the Rough Trade Indie Pop compilation from a few years back this is right up your street. Twee (and that’s a good thing) @petepaphides.bsky.social #music

After an unforgettable night at the launch party, seeing things I never thought I'd see again, very much looking forward to listening to this @needlemythology.bsky.social

Wow. What a blissful @needlemythology.bsky.social compilation of 1980s indie music. Some you’ve got, some you know, and some you love but have never heard before. Perfect!

My copy of #Sensitive has arrived! 🤩 If I still had a fringe (or any hair!) it would be shaken into oblivion this afternoon! Thank you, @needlemythology.bsky.social and @petepaphides.bsky.social

Oh she’s a heavy one, a chonker and I can’t wait. Thank you @petepaphides.bsky.social and all at @needlemythology.bsky.social once again! On my third purchase with you in as many months.

Still a bit stunned by last nights @needlemythology.bsky.social gig in London to launch the “Sensitive” compilation album. My vinyl copy arrived in the post just now and I will store the setlist I picked up in its sleeve!
